No fix is confirmed yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for the fix.

The CVE record's CNA (Wordfence) lists inisev Backup Migration versions up to and including 2.1.1 as affected. No release containing a fix is confirmed on record.

The Backup Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to OS Command Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.5.1 due to insufficient sanitization of the file POST parameter on the restoreBackup() AJAX handler. The handler applies esc_attr() — an HTML-context sanitizer that does not strip shell metacharacters — and concatenates the result, unquoted, into a php-cli -f … bmi_restore command passed to exec(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access (or any user granted the plugin's do_backups capability) and above, to execute arbitrary OS commands as the web-server user, bypassing WordPress hardening constants such as DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT and DISALLOW_FILE_MODS that would otherwise prevent code execution from the admin UI. This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2023-7002, which patched the same pattern only in the $_POST['url'] path of handleQuickMigration(); the equivalent mitigations (rawurlencode() + explicit shell-metachar replacement + double-quoting in exec()) were never applied to $backupName.

EG Risk 34/100

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score. It fuses impact severity (EG Severity, the CVSS base score, never the KEV-floored or EPSS-lifted EG Score) with real-world exploitation and automatability, under weights EchelonGraph set by hand, so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner.

Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

Data Freshness Timeline

(refreshed 10× in last 7d / 71× in last 30d)

Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures). Most recent first.

Showing the most recent 98 of 238 refreshes on record for this CVE.

A repeat, a row identical to one the same pipeline wrote less than 10 seconds earlier, is not a separate refresh and is not counted. 2 repeat rows among the latest 100 are merged into the row they repeat. The 140 oldest rows on record are not shown and were not checked, so the counts can still include repeats.

When was the CVE record for CVE-2026-7693 published?
The CVE record for CVE-2026-7693 was published on August 5, 2026. That is the record's publication date; the vulnerability itself may have been made public earlier. EchelonGraph's copy of the record carries a last-modified date of August 12, 2026; the record at its source may have been updated since.
Is CVE-2026-7693 actively exploited?
CVE-2026-7693 is not currently on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. FIRST EPSS estimates a 3.0% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days (86th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs).
What is the CVSS score of CVE-2026-7693?
CVE-2026-7693 has a CVSS base score of 7.2 (a secondary CVSS source that NVD displays; NVD's own analysis pending).
How do I remediate CVE-2026-7693?
No fix for CVE-2026-7693 is confirmed yet. Until one is published, restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation — for example, keep it off the internet or limit it to trusted networks — and watch the vendor's advisory for the fix. The CVE record's CNA (Wordfence) lists inisev Backup Migration versions up to and including 2.1.1 as affected. No release containing a fix is confirmed on record. The vendor advisories EchelonGraph has for CVE-2026-7693 are linked in the Vendor Advisories panel on this page.
